Red Buffalo Wings & Pizza Now Serving At Eastwood

Looking for the most authentic and original New York buffalo wings in Manila? You’re bound to find them at Red Buffalo Wings and Pizza in Eastwood. Visitors from NY claim that Red Buffalo’s Buffalo Wings are close to the buffalo wings in NY, and they’re glad to have a place to enjoy the original recipe despite being miles away from home.

Red Buffalo is a fast casual New York-themed restaurant which started at, would you believe, on the same street where I live?! Surprisingly, even though the area did not have their target market, business boomed, which prompted them to open their branch at Greenhills Town Center. The customers loved their chicken wings and thin-crust pizzas. They wanted to reach more people with their love for great food, which finally paved way for them to decide to open a second branch at Eastwood.

Their Eastwood branch has two floors, allowing them to accommodate more customers. Red Buffalo’s owners’ love for coffee also made them decide to offer coffee at their Eastwood branch. While definitely unusual for a wings and pizza place to offer coffee, a lot of employees in the area might appreciate the availability of coffee in this restaurant.

Red Buffalo’s Second Floor

The restaurant’s interior had unfinished walls with NY-themed portraits displayed on one side. The owners wanted a “come-as-you-are” feel, to make customers feel welcome. They have TV and wi-fi connection on the second floor.

Red Buffalo’s drinks: Iced Tea and Lemonades (Kiwi and Strawberry)

We got to try three variations of their famous wings, and here’s what I thought:

Parmesan Garlic

Their Parmesan Garlic has always been a crowd favorite, according to the owners of Red Buffalo. Everyone enjoys the perfect mix of parmesan and garlic. The wings were also served with either dip of your choice: Ranch or Bleu Cheese. New Yorkers normally eat their wings with Bleu Cheese, but for the Filipino taste, the Bleu Cheese might taste a little off. To be on the safe side, you might want to try Ranch instead. The good news is that the wings are delicious even without the help of the dip.

Lemon Pepper

I personally liked the Lemon Pepper over the Parmesan Garlic because I enjoyed the combination of the lemon’s sourness and the taste of pepper. I did like that their wings were served hot and fresh from the kitchen! We ate the wings with our bare hands, but if you don’t want to get grease on your hands, they have plastic gloves for the customers’ use. I found that both the Lemon Pepper and Parmesan Garlic were a little too oily.

Hone Bourbon

Among the wings we’ve tried, the Honey Bourbon was my favorite! It was covered in sweet honey bourbon sauce which made this a very enjoyable dish. I’m sure kids would love this as well.

Chicken Alfredo (Php 205)

Their Chicken Alfredo was a tasty and creamy pasta dish topped with chicken fillet and fresh basil. Other than the Chicken Alfredo, they have two other pasta dishes you can choose from: Spaghetti and Meatballs (Php 225) and Shrimp Diablo (Php 275). The good news is that they have big servings, so oen order can serve two to three people.

Jambalaya (Php 165)

Another one of their specialties is the Jambalaya, a “perfectly seasoned mix of chicken, mushroom and Italian and Hungarian sausages, rice, tomatoes and bell peppers”. And by perfectly seasoned, they mean appropriately spiced. Some Jambalayas are to spicy to be enjoyed, but Red Buffalo’s Jambalaya was more flavorful than spicy.

Pulled Pork Pizza (Php 395)

Another Red Buffalo specialty, the Pulled Pork Pizza, is a definite must-try! The Pulled Pork Pizza is made with shredded pork, bacon, red onions, tomatoes, fresh coleslaw and barbecue sauce. The sweetness of the pork and barbecue sauce plus the flavors of the fresh coleslaw went really well together. I also liked the fact that their pizzas are thin crust and you get to really savor the flavors of the toppings than the pizza crust. It’s available at 12-in for Php 395.

Steak and Cheese Pizza (Php 395)

For the cheese-lovers out there, the Steak and Cheese Pizza is for you. This pizza has chunks of steak strips, mushrooms, red and green bell peppers, white onions, and sharp cheddar cheese. The cheese is really thick. I liked that Pulled Pork Pizza better, though. It is also priced at P395 for a 12-inch.

Avocado Milkshake

Red Buffalo also offers six different Milkshake flavors. Among these, the Avocado Milkshake is their bestseller. I have to say that this is the BEST MILKSHAKE I’ve ever tasted (or I’ve tasted too few milkshakes in my life). Made with 80% Avocado Ice Cream and 20% Milk, Red Buffalo’s Avocado Milkshake is TO DIE FOR. This milkshake completed my life. I don’t know others might find drinking milkshakes suitable with wings or pizza, but I love this milkshake and I’ll drink it with anything.

At the moment, they cater deliveries only within Eastwood, but probably in a month or two, they’ll be able to do deliveries to neighboring areas as well.

Red Buffalo’s Grand Opening had a photobooth which we abused, so here are our obligatory photobooth pictures:
